Linking Pins by Bruce Bernstein (Props + DVD) - Trick

Honed to perfection over nearly three decades, the Bernstein Linking Pin
Routine is as sharp and mystifying an effect as you will ever see.

The magician links two large safety pins together, fairly and plainly.
On his command, the pins visibly and slowly melt apart. The unlinking of
the pins actually looks like trick photography. The effect is repeated -
the pins unlink again - and the illusion looks just as baffling as it
did the first time.

The pins are then caused to magically link together in a seemingly
impossible manner. One moment the two are separate, and the next, they
are linked.

Finally, an ungimmicked finger ring is legitimately locked onto one of
the pins. Despite the fairness of the proceedings, the ring melts off of
the pin it was locked on. At the same moment the two pins link
together, in full view, inches from the spectators.

At the conclusion of the routine, everything can be examined. There's nothing to find!

The Bernstein Linking Pin Routine requires no specially manufactured
gaffs and no complicated sleight-of-hand. Nothing is switched in or out.
All that's required are the two pins and a finger ring. There are no
external gimmicks. It's ready any time.

Included inside are all necessary props and media: two, specially
selected and hand-adjusted three-inch safety pins, a broadcast-quality
instructional DVD featuring Bernstein's performance and explanation, and
a 17"x22" poster (no page turning required!) with clear line drawings
to make learning easy.

Phil Wilmarth: "Here is a superb four-part routine... The final phase
is a wonderful visual unlinking of a spectator's finger ring from a pin
as a separate pin immediately links to the very same pin the ring just
left. Bruce also explains how to pass the pins out for examination, upon
completion of the routine, without switches. It's a fooler of a
routine, yet is no that difficult to do."

Barrie Richardson: "Bruce Bernstein's Linking Pin Routine is one of the most astonishing and entertaining effects on this planet - period!"
